It seems that I have been on quite the pumpkin kick lately! I sure have been enjoying the trip and the next stop was pumpkin butter. I had seen pumpkin butter popping up on the food blogging sphere and it sounded good. Last year I enjoyed an
apple butter
that I had made and I used that recipe as a starting point. The pumpkin butter was super easy to make as I already had some home made
pumpkin puree
on hand. The pumpkin butter was so good! If you like pumpkin will really like pumpkin butter. The pumpkin flavour is amazingly concentrated and good. The spices are reminiscent of pumpkin pie and there is a hint of apples in the background from the cider. So far I have been enjoying the pumpkin butter on toast in addition to by the spoon.

I knew you'd be putting all that pumpkin you hoarded to good use. This is the kind of butter that you need to fill small pretty glass containers with and give them as holiday gifts to friends and me. (did you get the last part???huh???)

I'd seen a bunch of bloggers using and eating pumpkin butter, but have never found it to buy anywhere. Didn't know making it was so easy! Thanks. All your pumpkin and squash dishes lately look SO good!

I keep meaning to make apple butter, and now I've got to try this, too! Plus, it sounds very approachable--I really have no excuse. I could see myself going through that very quickly to top off my bagels. It sounds delicious!

A huge gifted pumpkin is now tidily jarred up in it's new form...pumpkin butter. Really great stuff but oh so messy to make! I cheated and finished it in the microwave, much much faster than all that stirring and messy bubbles. I had to wash the floor when all was said and done.Thanks for the inspiration!

Kevin--This looks amazing, as do all the recipes on your site!For a couple of years, I have been canning apple butter, and I was just wondering, do you think this pumpkin butter could be canned safely? I would think it could, because of the vinegar...and apple butter doesn't even have that....

I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.
